MOSIER.

Deputy Marshal Sheriff came down
from Topeka, Friday evening, but was
called back yesterday morning, expecting
to return to the city Tuesday to be present
at the execution of Mosier. Before his de-
parture however, all the arrangements re-
garding the erection of the stockade were
completed
Yesterday the work was undertaken and
before night an enclosure 30x30 and sixteen
feet high was built at the west end of the
jail. Standing near the center of the
square is the gallows now ready for the
execution. The drop is six feet, and a
rope purchased for the hanging of
one of the Seminole Indians was yester-
day tested by means of a sack
of sand weighing 200 pounds and found to
answer the purpose.
Mosier passed the day much as the 9TH
ers he has spent in the Jail. In the morn
ing his mother, accompanied by a Miss
Mary Shroyer, came up from Anthony.
Mrs. Mosier is a woman, in appearance,
about fortyfive years of age, but she seems
to be heart-broken by the disgraceful end
of her first born. During her stay at the
jail she was so weak as to be scarcely able
to sit up rocking herself and bemoaning the
sad fate of her son. The young lady was
a good looking brunette not over 10,
she was Mosier's sweet heart and carried
in her arms their illegitimate child. The
young criminal refused to see them unless
the handouts were removed from his
wrists. This request, of course could not
be granted, and they were compelled to go
away without seeing him He, however,
handed a package of letters, some faded
flowers, and pictures to Ed Darnell, the
turnkey, asking him to deliver them 'to
Mary" When the young girl received
these letters written by her to Mosier in
earlier and happier days, she burst into
tears and refused to be comforted After
waiting in vain for some time in hopes
that the condemned man would change his
mind and consent to see them, they sadly
left the building.

FERROUS ACCIDENT,

Last evening near s O'Clock John Berry,
ineman for the Schuyler company, came
near losing his life in front of Luttrell's es-
tablishment, on East Douglas avenue. He
was On top of forty-five foot pole trying
to cut the wire with the pliers, when the
current was turned on in full force. On
the circuit are fifty lights and the entire
current passed through him. He was una
BILE to let go of the pliers, but the electric
current was strong enough to cause him to
grip the pliers with force sufficient to cut
the wire and break the circuit.
As soon as the current was broken he
fell back and luckily one leg caught the
cross arm and some wires, and he
being in that position for some min
utes before becoming conscious. When he
realizing the situation, he partially gained
control of himself, and slid down the pole
without using climbers or his arms
On reaching the ground he was taken to
Dr. St. Johns Office, where it was found
that the inside of his left hand was hor-
ribly burned The charred flesh had been
removed from the bones and leaders of
the hand. He had no use of his arms, and
complained of suffering internally In
dDOuO ii Hdll lie NdlfAcu W HIS HOHlc
on West Central avenue. 1t is thought
that he may lose the use of one hand, and
will probably not be able to work for some
weeks
The accident created quite an
excitement on the avenue, and
when the young man was hanging in the
wire every one thought that he would
certainly drop to the pavement and be in
stantly killed. The accident, it seems,
came from mistake at the station MI.
c. NJ. Davis, the electrician, had been
with the line men during the afternoon
and a few minutes before the accident
occurred started to the station and just
before reaching the plant the machinery
was set in motion. Arrangements had
been made with the line men to not put
on the current until all had telephoned
that they had finished their work There
were three other men at work on that cir
cult but luckily they were not hurt as
they saw the current was on before touch
ing it,
During the last few days a number of
parties have been shocked while attempt
ing to adjust their lights. They invaria-
bly, leave the step ladder when the current
gets a good chance at them.

COMANCHE COUNTY SALT.

Mr.. T. K Broadwell, of Comanche coun-
ty, is in the city and tells of great salt
industry in his section, with which he is
connected. He says that he is hauling
salt on wagons thirty-five miles to the
Santa Fe road and can sell it at a profit fol
so per ton. He has made arrangement:
with the Santa Fe company to build line

on the cars for one dollar and seventy-five
cents per ton. He thinks he will be able
to furnish the entire west as soon as one
road is constructed. He also believes tina,
more roads will come to his section when
they fiud out the MN ense traffic that vii
come from the salt alone.
The salt vein lies on top the ground and
is thirty feet thick. 1t is ready for USE
when ground up. 1t is pronounced good

Friday night st. Louis travelling man
took in the town and yesterday morning
showed up at the hotel without his gold
watch and over $50 dollars in cash unac-
counted for. He told his story to one OF
the prominent detectives with instructions
that if he would get the money and watch
he would consider the money as detectives
pay and the watch his own. The officer wrote
a note to fellow whom he believed to be
guilty Of the robbery, and informed the
crook that he should send the Doodle i'm
mediately to him or he would certainly do
something worse. In a short time the
money and watch put in an appearance,
and the travelling gent drew On the house,
yesterday, and last night was getting ready

THE CATHOLIC SEE.

A number of the clergy of this diocease
met in this city the past week for consulta-

church in establishing the new see, cree
